(Picture for problem above.) Find the value of y. Be sure to keep the exact value (use square root and don’t round your answer).

y = 8·√3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the drawing of the right triangle, we have;

The length of the opposite leg to the given 60° (reference) angle = 12

The length of the adjacent leg to given 60° (reference) angle = x

The length of the hypotenuse side = y

By trigonometric ratios, we have;

Therefore, we have;

From the value of sin(60°), we have;

y = 8·√3

2.56 is the width of the garden

step-by-step explanation:

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
